Happy Mother's Day to all the mommas of all kinds! Today was a wonderful and relaxing Mother's Day. Little A let me sleep until almost 7am...well after he fell out of my bed at 5am and gave himself a black eye, but I digress :) He made me a beautiful necklace at daycare and a card and then grandma and grandpa helped him pick out 2 new cookie sheets for me which I desperately needed! Then we went for a delicious brunch at Great Escape. I highly recommend their brunch! Lots of variety, no wait at all, not over crowded and only $20 per person ($10 for kids). I know I sound like an advertisement, but it really was good haha! We came home after and cleaned up the garden for planting next weekend, watched Ghostbusters and just hung out. It was a wonderful day with my little man with almost no time outs and that is always a plus!

Now to get back to the grindstone tomorrow. We have 1 more week of classes before final exams and I am predicting a rough few weeks. The students have been a bit crazy the past few weeks already, tensions and stress running high. My goal for the next two weeks is to plan ahead as much as I can at home and work, take things with a grain of salt knowing that people don't always mean things the way they sound, and make sure to cherish every moment at home with my little guy to keep me grounded. Let's hope we all make it through!

Breakfasts:

Dinners:

Monday: Fish Tacos: leftover tilapia fish sticks from last week smothered in peach salsa rolled in tortillas with lettuce and cheese, Served with rice and black beans.

Tuesday: Double Delicious Mac and Cheese: I have been trying to make this recipe for 3 weeks and it keeps getting pushed off. It is so delicious and since it can be made ahead and used for 2-3 meals it is DEFINITELY getting made this week! Plus it is a guarantee that Little A will eat it and I have to work until 8 on Tuesday :) Served with spinach salad.

So this week's dinner post is a little bit late because...well....I just didn't get to it yesterday! I was so busy actually cooking the food and shopping for it and doing laundry that I just forgot to write this post, so here it is!
